Results on determination of residual quantities of fenbendazole and its metabolites in cattle meat, organs and tissues after administration of preparation Febolvet in dose of one bolus per one animal realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus were presented. Animals were killed in 35 and 80 days after administration of preparation. There were no strangulates in animals organs. Pieces of nephros, liver, cordis, fat and muscle tissue were chosen for residual quantity of fenbendazole and its metabolites evaluation. The level of carcasses bleeding was good at application of boluses of infested activity with fenbendazole. In 24-48 hours of keeping in refrigerator the drying crust was well-defined, muscle tissue in cut had firm texture and from light red to red color, cut areas were wet. Tendon was form and elastic. Soup was clear, flavored and without extraneous odors. Study of physical-chemical indexes estimated peroxidase activity, pH, presence of products of primary breaking of protein in 24 and 72 hours after killing. Biological value decreased slightly (on 1,04%). Veterinary-sanitary evaluation of cattle meat was conducted in the investigation. Research results showed no residual quantities of fenbendazole in the analyzed samples after application of long lasting boluses. Application of the analyzed boluses in case of cattle strongylatosis did not lower the veterinary and sanitary indexes of meat and did not render substantial effect on its quality

Results of studies of acute and chronic toxicity of control samples of long acting boluses on the basis of fenbendazole for the treatment of strongylatosis (Strongylata) of gastro-intestinal tract of cattle realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus were presented. White rats and mice were used for studying of acute and chronic toxicity of the prolonged anthelmintic. The preparation was tested in doses of 400; 800; 1200; 1600; and 2000 mg/kg of body weight. Prolonged anthelmintic was administrated introgastrally in the form of suspension. Preparation was reduced to fragments before application. White rats with body weight of 80-100 g were divided in three groups and were used for testing. Bolus of prolonged activity was reduced to fragments and mixed with feed before application. Rats ate the preparation during 30 day in dozes of 250 mg/kg, 375 mg/kg, and 500 mg/kg. Study of acute toxicity of preparation established that LD0 for white mice was 400 mg/kg; LD16 - 620 mg/kg; LD50 - 1080 (1062,7 / 1097, 3) mg/kg; LD84 - 1660, LD100 - 200 mg/kg. Signs of animal toxicosis were revealed in shakiness, depression, whiteness of visually accessible mucous coat, cramps. Catarrhal-haemorrhagic gastroenteritis and numerous effusions of blood on mucous coat of digestive tract were established at postmortem examination. There were no morphological changes in tissues of lungs, heart, liver and nephros. Eating of prolonged anthelmintic with feed during 30 days did not render toxicological influence on rats. There were no signs of intoxication, physiological deviations and no animal death. Research results showed that the analyzed prolonged anthelmintic could be referred the substance hazard category 3

Production examination of efficiency of concentrated vaccine against swine erysipelas from matrix Konev of trial series, control of its immunizing power and production experiments of biological preparation were realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Research results showed that the presented vaccine had more expressed immunogenic properties in comparison with its production analogue and provided piglets protection against infection. There was analyzed the immunological efficiency of the vaccine: determination of quantity of erythrocytes; leukocytes; content of hemoglobin, level of lysozyme activity, bacterial growth-inhibitory activity, blood serum, phagocytic activity, neutrophilic leukocytes, content of total protein and protein fractions, titre of erysipelas antibodies, and preventive properties of blood serum. Efficiency of biological preparation was determined on the basis of analysis of disease incidence rate, loss of immunized swine caused by swine erysipelas

Evaluation of pathogenicity of Paenibacillus alvei culture obtained from a dead bee brood from Berezinsky Biosphere Nature Reserve was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus by an example of 30-day old white male mice with body weight of 16-18 grams. Experimental animals were infected with European foul brood (Paenibacillus alvei) intraperitoneally. Research results showed that bacteria Paenibacillus alvei after the intraperitoneal infection with various amount of microbial cells did not cause mouse death; i.e. it was not pathogenic for white mice. In course of the realized observations over the laboratory mice after introduction of infection there were stated no changes in mice behavior and overall condition. There were no visible pathologicoanatomic changes in internal organs. After the bacteriologic examination of internal organs and blood there were isolated pure cultures of Paenibacillus alvei

Evaluation of antagonistic activity of strains of lactic and bifid bacteria, metabolite producers, as well as the treatment and prophylactic efficacy of Laktimet and Batsinil probiotics was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. In course of study there were estimated 29 strains of lactic acid bacillus of different kinds, 13 strains of bifid bacteria and 35 strains of bacillus (Bac. subtilis and Bac. pumilis). There were studied 3 strains of bifid bacteria: Bifidobacterium adolescentis MS-42; Bifidobacterium adolescentis BIM V-01; Bifidobacterium adolescentis BIM V-87; 2 strains of lactic acid bacillus: Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactis BIM V-132, Lactococcus casei subsp. rhamnosus BIM V-189; and 6 strains of Bacillus subtilis. Research results showed that the main part of the studied strains had steady antagonistic activity to test-cultures of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria. Zone of growth delay of test-cultures of the main quantity of strains (from 54 up to 92%) was from 11 up to 30. Research results showed that application of cell-free probiotics Laktimet and Batsinil promoted the increasing of resistance by means of increasing or lowering of total protein, insignificant increasing of blood serum bactericidal activity and increasing of phagocytic activity of leukocytes on 7,3%

Creation of effective and easy-to-replicate in laboratory conditions culture medium for isolation of salmonella out of water, which could make it possible to increase the safety, authenticity and efficiency of bacteriological study of aquatic medium objects, was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus.
